INTRODUCTION The mechanical properties of biological cells are promising biomarkers to differentiate for example cell phenotypes, cell states or between healthy and unhealthy cells with applications ranging from research facilities to medical laboratories [1, 2]. Real-time deformability ... Read More

Laboratories are essential parts of the engineering education at Universities of Applied Science. Students have the chance to practically apply theoretical concepts known from lectures. Sometimes the lab experiments require additional theoretical background. This is particularly true for ... Read More

Single turn coils produce AC and transient magnetic fields in pulsed magnetic technologies for which magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis can be primarily performed. We suggest studying one single turn coil example made of a conducting massive coil, an optional conducting ... Read More

An simple analytical model for the calculation of the resonance frequency of coils typical consists of a network of inductance, capacitance and resistance. Calculating these three parameters based on spatial geometry is not easy in most cases. The finite element method as used in COMSOL ... Read More

Structural Health Monitoring Systems are being highly investigated to evaluate the health of a structure and detect any damages occurring in real time. Such systems require intensive data analysis which gets even more intricate when working with complex structures due to undesirable ... Read More

Laser beam welding is a key technology in industrial manufacturing as it combines high flexibility and the potential for automation with excellent joint quality and minimal thermal influence of the workpiece. Whereas for materials like steel and aluminium laser beam welding is already ... Read More

The Hyperloop is a concept system targeting passenger transportation aiming to carry people in a pod running in a high vacuum tube at 1200 km/h. In 2015, SpaceX announced that they would sponsor a Hyperloop pod design competition, because of their interest in helping to accelerate the ... Read More

Kejako is developing a non-invasive solution for demanding presbyopia patients seeking to keep their quality of life through the compensation of visual accommodation decay. The company has already developed the first and proprietary 3D parametric model of the complete eye. The model ... Read More

Partial differential equations on unknown domains is a mathematical problem that arises in many applications. Several examples can be easily found in the dynamics of free surfaces in fluid dynamics or in fluid-structure interactions. In many situations, large deformations are encountered ... Read More

Cereal foods can be considered as cellular solids: texture is defined by their structure and mechanical properties [1]. Elderly people show a significant alteration of oral health [2] and salivation [3], causing difficulties to eat. Therefore, there is a need to understand chewing ... Read More
